The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1182

Chapter 1182

Just when they were discussing whether to go out and look for Roxanne, the doorbell rang out of the blue.

"Is Mommy home?"

Benny leaped off the couch excitedly.

Likewise, Archie sprang to his feet.

The two boys trotted over to the mansion door and turned on the video intercom for a look.

When they saw the person standing at the door, their faces promptly fell.

"Archie, Benny, it's me. Open the door, quick."

Haunted by guilt, Cayden sounded incredibly gentle.

The boys begrudgingly opened the door. "What's the matter, Mr. Lawson? Was it Mommy who sent you here?"

Cayden's gaze was conflicted. "Yeah. I'll bring you both to see her now."

The instant Benny heard that, his eyes lit up.

Conversely, Archie's heart sank with worry.

It's late now. If Mommy wanted to see us, she could've come by herself. Since she asked Mr. Lawson to come and pick us up, there's a high possibility that something had happened to her.

"Did something happen to our mommy, Mr. Lawson?" He stared at Cayden seriously, his expression grave.

At the knowing look in Archie's eyes, Cayden opened his mouth, but he didn't quite know how to tell the boy the truth.

A long moment passed before he simply muttered, "You'll know when we reach."

Only then did Benny belatedly realize that something was amiss. His expression gradually froze.

Having long since braced himself for bad news, Archie took his brother's hand and inclined his head at Cayden. "Bring us there."

Cayden turned away and nodded, lacking the guts to look them in the eye. Whirling around, he strode toward the car.

When they reached the car door, he bent down and carried Archie and Benny into the car, one after another.
